4.1 Power and Ethernet Cable Connection

Power Connection

Make sure the camera’s power cable is properly connected; refer to the pin definition table in section Camera’s Connectors. If using Power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is available on the connected network.

All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

Ethernet Cable Connection

Use of Category 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection; to have best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the CF-4221-00 camera, and the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.

Page 10

DVTel CF-4221-00 Fixed IP Camera User & Installation Guide

Green Link Light indicates good network connection.

Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

Note: A smaller the focal length number allows a wider field of view. A large number represents a narrower and deeper field of view.

Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs; if the LEDs are unlit, please check LAN connection.

4.2 Lens Mounting

Before installing your camera, you will want to install the camera lens. Note that the camera lens is sold separately (See Accessories) and should be selected to match the needs of the scene and to optimize the use of the cameras capabilities.

Auto Iris VS DC lens

Manual iris lens are best limited for use in scenes where illumination never changes, such as a persistently lit store or office. Auto iris is better suited for scenes where the lighting may vary throughout the day and night.

The trade-off is in the amount of detail and depth of view vs. the width of view. For example a 2.8 or 4 mm lens might be sufficient for indoor warehouse and office and an 8mm might be better suited for outdoor perimeters.

After you select your lenses and see the amount of detail provided consider your security surveillance coverage, camera locations and any additional needs that may be discovered. Consult your DVTel rep if you have question.

Page 11
